When I started putting together this week's episode, one track I knew I wanted to include was a listener request: "No One On Earth" by Above and Beyond, voted 2004's Tune of the Year and featuring the incredible vocals of former Faithless member Zoe Johnston. I've always liked to call this great trance classic "the interstellar love song", and somehow this morphed into -- more or less -- the theme for the whole show. It first starts out in a funky mood before "Leave It All Behind", "Out Of The Sky", "Vienen Los Platillos" (loosely translated as "The Saucers Are Coming") and "Obscure Rays" bring on the otherworldly vibe. Hope you like it, and check back here soon for our next episode featuring all-new tracks. Got a request or shoutout? Send us an email: star98@gmx.net.

Something a bit different to kick off the show this week. I recently watched Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" again (for the umpteenth time!), and have had the introductory fanfare running through my head since. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" is a true "oldie but goodie", still thrilling listeners since Richard Strauss introduced it in 1896. As there are many compositional similarities between classical music and trance, I started wondering what the tone poem would sound like remixed with a trance beat. While the track has been covered many times before by artists as diverse as Eumir Deodato, Spacehog, and Phish (to name but a few) the mashup that leads off this week's show is a my own meager first attempt at it, one that I hope to improve upon later. The rest of the mix features some great new tracks - please let me know in the comments what you think.
